Chatty Hollywood

Charlotte actually didn't expect that Spectre Studios would film the series "Bones", just like he didn't expect that his cousin's wife would be the prototype of the heroine of this series, and based on her own work experience It's like writing a novel.

In fact, it was not Charlotte but Mr. Westwood who originally discovered the novel and planned to adapt it into a TV series.

However, when Mr. Westwood mentioned something to Charlotte, he suddenly discovered that the original author was actually related to him, and their story was very similar to the American drama "Knowledge" in his original time and space. "Bone Trace"...

Therefore, he suddenly became interested in this project plan and named Emily Deschanel to star.

——The latter was originally the actress who played the heroine of "Bones" in the original time and space!

Since the original time and space proved successful, Charlotte did not plan to make any more changes.

Of course, that's assuming Emily Deschanel doesn't cause any trouble.

In addition to naming the heroine candidate, Charlotte did not put forward many additional requirements.

He just contacted his cousin who was about to be promoted within the FBI and asked to collect information from him.

In this regard, both Charlotte's cousin and the other party's wife, the anthropologist who is also a part-time novelist, are very welcoming. Even the top brass of the FBI are happy to see it happen.

——Who made the US government departments accustomed to cooperating with Hollywood?

You know, every year the U.S. military invests a large amount of money to support Hollywood's production of customized military recruitment blockbusters - including "Top Gun", which is a huge success, and "Pearl Harbor," which loses all its pants. But the Pentagon doesn’t care at all——

Anyway, the biggest enemy of the U.S. military is on Capitol Hill. The House of Representatives and the Senate are trying to cut military spending every year. It is not easy to keep the money saved in your own pockets. It is better to waste it and portray the glory of American soldiers in the media. The image!

——For example, American soldiers beat up aliens, dismantled Transformers with their bare hands, etc...

As the FBI, which was able to manipulate the U.S. Congress with applause during the Hoover era, even if its leader is no longer around and cannot be so arrogant, it is not a problem at all to spend a little money to film a few dramas to promote its positive image. of.

Just allow him to set fire to the Pentagon, but not allow me, the FBI, to set fire to it?

In short,

Regarding "Bones", a drama that can be said to promote a positive image of the FBI, the FBI is quite optimistic.

They have even established an early connection with Spectre Studio - as for whether there are any dirty PY transactions in it, Charlotte doesn't bother to care.

——He is the boss of Spectre Studio after all, so he can just leave these details to his subordinates.

And he didn’t tell his somewhat idealistic cousin about these possible gray issues——

It was rare for the other party to get promoted within the FBI, so Charlotte thought it would be better not to cause trouble.

Anyway, just providing cases as material for the super sent by Charlotte to collect materials is enough to keep the other party busy for a while.

And his wife, an anthropologist with a special personality and a bit of a maverick, is not completely unsophisticated.

——After all, she is not really Dr. Brianna in "Bones", at least the bloody and legendary family relationship does not exist.

However, she did not object to the fact that the screenwriters of Specter Studio planned to follow Charlotte's instructions to arrange a legendary family relationship for the heroine based on her...

"Emily Deschanel readily agreed - to be honest, I really didn't expect her to be so adaptable when she first saw our "real props" - I was so excited when I first saw them. I almost vomited..."

"This only shows that she is indeed very suitable for the role of Gui!"

Charlotte shrugged at the complaining old gun,

"It looks like we'll be seeing a heavy-hitting detective series on our TV screens soon."

"It's quite spicy..."

Lao Qiang and Mr. Westwood on the side thought at the same time.

——Both of them agreed with Charlotte's point that "Bones" uses highly restored decaying corpses and novel ways of death as its selling points.

After all, this is also the main character of the original work.

However, the fact that the props group has such a high degree of "restoration" is somewhat unexpected.

"Fortunately, American audiences do have very strong tastes!"

Mr. Westwood was secretly thankful.

*******

The establishment of the "Bones" project is actually just a small matter for Charlotte today.

As the scale of Spectre's studio expands, for ordinary projects, he only needs to pay attention at the beginning and then follow up in due course.

What really keeps this big BOSS focused on are some relatively important projects.

For now, it’s the final chapter of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” trilogy, “At World’s End”——

This movie, a collaboration with Disney, was moved by Charlotte to 2004, not only to further strengthen post-production and refinement, but also to avoid the 2003 "Inception" and "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" , reducing internal friction between Spectre Studios film projects.

And now, with the 2004 Oscars ceremony over, the promotion work for the final chapter of the Pirates trilogy has officially started.

For a time, news related to "Pirates of the Caribbean" appeared in various media——

Among them, the focus is naturally Johnny Depp, who plays Captain Jack Sparrow, while River, who plays the little blacksmith, and Jenny, who plays the heroine Elizabeth, also received a lot of attention.

However, as the Headless Horseman, Ruifan is naturally elusive. Except for certain publicity activities, reporters basically cannot catch him.

However, because of his ambiguous relationship with Alexis's sister Jenny, they would date each other from time to time, but they were caught by the media several times.

And this kind of scene in the movie where the male and female protagonists fall in love due to drama is also the favorite of entertainment tabloid reporters——

Basically, there are two pictures at the beginning, and the rest is all made up.

——But readers still like to read it.

In short, the three protagonists have been "surrounded" by reporters recently.

And Charlotte is not much better - after all, not to mention his status as a director, in the movie, he also played the octopus-headed captain Davy Jones.

Coupled with Davy Jones' old lover, the alien sea goddess is played by Charlize again...

In short, reporters also want to interview Charlotte. Normally, during the promotion period of a movie, the main creative staff are generally willing to be interviewed.

——In this regard, the media and creators are mutually beneficial.

However, Charlotte is often not an ordinary person...

"What!? Charlotte Booth can't be found again!!?"

Although he was surprised, Parker Spade was not unprepared for this situation.

——After all, he has filmed Charlotte and Charlize many times and knows how elusive these two people are.

However, Parker has just been promoted to deputy editor recently, which is when he needs to make achievements to convince the public...

"Where did this guy go? He didn't take the movie queen wife to some uninhabited island for vacation and live a life without shame, right?"

Parker Spade scratched his hair in distress...
